DJ K-SWIFT

born as, Khia Edgerton, was one of Baltimore's top radio personalities and a major player in the local music scene. She died, at only 28yrs old, on the 21st of July, 2008. It’s due to an apparent pool accident at her home. Known as “Club Queen K-Swift,” she had many influences to help drive her to the top of her game. Her influences included; Cocoa Channel, Jazzy Joyce, and her father who had an immense passion for music. K-Swift began DJing at the age of 11. Her desires to become a professional, well-known DJ were met with obstacles. She received a lot of skepticism from males, however; she never let that phase her. Her formula for brushing off all the haters was to just do her own thing and stay focused. Long hours spent working to enhance her DJ skills paid off. When she wasn’t performing, K-Swift was recording, or vice versa.

At the age of 18, K-Swift was offered an internship at 92Q Jams WERQ in Baltimore. Through her dedication she would land a permanent spot at 92Q. Just after about five years at 92Q, she made her move to host the evening show Off the Hook Radio. She would also become the only Female Mixshow coordinator in the country. Soon, K-Swift began releasing CDs through Unruly Records. K-Swift owned a graphics and production company and was the city's only female record pool director. Her last public performance was at Artscape Saturday evening.
K-Swifts talents and warm personality will truly be missed not only in Baltimore, but throughout the DJ community.
